5-Year-Old Girl’s Arm Gets Caught in Elevator
A New Jersey family is suing an elevator company after a 5-year-old girl’s arm got caught in an elevator door. Zoe Garatziotis was rushed to the hospital after the incident at a building in Hoboken, New Jersey. She had 20 stitches in what a police report calls a "severe laceration." Her lawyer, Edward Capozzi, used the elevator in his building to show Inside Edition’s Steven Fabian what he says is the correct gap.

Ridiculous. Why should they sue anybody for their own stupidity, negligence, & failure to properly supervise that child? Who allows their children to place their hands & limbs on moving mechanical parts of transportation equipment? What if that child stuck her fingers in between the steps of a moving escalator, or jammed her hand in a slamming car door - would you think the companies that manufactured those people-moving devices should be sued for the parents’ negligence in those instances as well? This mother is trying to push her failure onto someone else - ironically, further compounding her failure. Her children deserve pity, but not for the physical injuries she allows them to endure.
@annablack4599

So escalators have a code that it has comply with. So that is a kid put its hand down it wouldn’t eat the whole hand or fingers. A car door is controlled by a person so you assume the risk and have human controlling it. This was an accident that shouldn’t have happened in the first place. It’s negligent. The door should have some kind of safety on it. This is something that should be seen as a risk. This is not just about money. This little girl has been disfigured. The parents had to pay the hospital bills co pays. For something that shouldn’t have happened. If it was to be installed to the codes to prevent this.

I never rested my hands on elevator doors, because my parents told me I would loose my fingers or toes, and was told to stand back. It's called parenting. None of the adults were concerned & forgot about safety, keeping clear of doors. Children's minds wonder, so safety is always on the parents watch out for to avoid situations like this. Glad her hand will recover.
Mom should have been watching her child 🤷♀️

Is it really the elevator company's fault that they operated the doors to open?? I think the kids should have not placed their hands on an open/closing doors in the first place.

First of all, the parents weren't expecting something like this to happen, I'm sure they have used an elevator many times before and clearly you wouldn't expect something like this to happen suddenly? The kids were right there next to them, so they relaxed for a bit, is that such a problem now? @@SVIIVII
this is why every time i go in the elevator i have a weird feeling.
Oh thats so scary! I hope she is okay ❤

Why did they sue the company? It was their own fault. They should've told the daughter not to put her hand on the door in the first place.

The difference is that it's more your fault than the furniture company's that you hit the table. There is also a difference in the amount of damage caused. People shouldn't bear the burden of refraining from touching elevator doors. Instead, elevator companies should ensure the safety of their doors, particularly since legal regulations assign responsibility to the installer or manufacturer and outline specific standards that must be adhered to.

It's not really the elevator manufacturer's fault. The little girl's tiny hand got stuck in the small space between the door and the outside frame. It's a freak occurrence, however her hand ended up there we can't really see. It was a scary moment and I'm sure that kiddo will never play "will my hand fit" ever again. She learned an important lesson without being seriously hurt, which is all that matters. But there is no need to SUE anyone. Nobody is really at fault. Silly child made a boo boo and thankfully she's okay and you move on.

NEVER LEAN AGAINST THE ELEVATOR DOOR!
Ouchhhh 😬 I know that type of pain is something you remember even years and years later
That's why you should always teach your kids to not put their hands on the door, it doesn't matter if it's opening, you STILL don't put your hand on the other side of the door frame, and if it's closing you don't put your hand in front of the door, you wait till the door opens and then you can step out. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING THAT'S HOLY TEACH YOUR KIDS NOT TO BE SO FOOLISH AND TO BE CAUTIOUS. And I'm not saying this to hurt the girl's feelings, nor am I wanting to get hate. But all I'm saying is that I hope that she is alright, so it's about safety and I hope she learned not to do it again. ❤
These negligent parents have some nerve blaming the building owner or the elevator manufacturer for their failure to properly supervise their children around moving mechanical parts. They’re the type who allow their children to get injured on escalators, playground equipment, hot stoves, & alligator pits too. Their own lack of supervisory care is always everyone else’s fault.

@crystanick2697 or some parents need to do their jobs and teach their children basic safety precautions, i.e., never lean on doors. I guess parents (like yourself) lack the innate basic instinct to, at the very least, try to protect their children from harm. The mother watched as her daughter leaned on that door. The little girl's injury could have been prevented by her mother, as well.
